The Basics

What telehealth care includes.

Telehealth means meeting your psychiatrist or therapist over a secure, private video connection instead of in the office. It's the same care, the same clinicians, and the same treatment planning, delivered wherever you have a quiet space and an internet connection.

We offer telehealth for psychiatric evaluations, medication management follow-ups, and therapy across Utah. For patients in rural areas or those balancing work and family, it removes the drive without removing the quality of care. Some advanced in-office treatments still require an in-person visit, and we'll always tell you when that's the case.

What To Expect

How telehealth works.

Simple to start, and easy to fit into a real life.

1

Schedule online

Book through the patient portal or by phone. No referral is needed to begin.

2

Connect securely

You'll get a private, secure video link. Join from a phone, tablet, or computer.

3

Meet your clinician

Your evaluation, medication visit, or therapy session runs just as it would in person.

4

Ongoing follow-up

Continue with convenient video visits, switching to in-person care whenever it's useful.

Is Telehealth Right For You?

Telehealth may be a good fit if this sounds like you.

Your clinician will let you know if any part of your care needs to be in person.

  • You live far from our offices or in a rural part of Utah.
  • A busy schedule makes regular in-person visits hard to keep.
  • Leaving the house feels overwhelming right now, and that's part of what you're working on.
  • You want convenient medication follow-ups after an initial evaluation.
  • You'd like therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.
